I came across an article written a year ago by a mother of a child with Autism. Her article was so many things, loving, accurate, scary, interesting, and motivating. She wrote about a prayer she says for her son every night. This hit home for me because I also say a prayer (not the same one) daily for Jaxon and his struggle with Autism. At the end of her article she wrote this…"There is no guarantee or insurance policy. Lord give me hope."I wanted to share this with you because it rings true for each and every family following the journey Autism had lead them on. Hope seems to be the biggest and brightest answer we have right now. It is hope that gets me though each IEP meeting, each doctors appointment, each tantrum, each milestone, each set back and each day. When you are raising a child with Autism you must never give up hope.

As a mother of three, I feel like I am getting a second degree in "google researching". I love my children more than life itself but sometimes the nights get longer than the days, and mommy feels a little overwhelmed! However, life is supposed to be about the journey so I will buckle up and enjoy the ride.
